Last Sunday, I dragged Becca up to
Dolores Park to playtest Jane’s newest
game, cruel 2 b kind. It’s basically
Assassins, that
age-old dorm favorite, but with a couple twists.

The game is condensed into a couple hours, instead of a few weeks, which makes
it both more fun and doable for normal people. More importantly, you play in
public places, which adds a lot more suspense. You never know for sure who’s
playing and who’s not…until you kill them, of course, or they kill you.

recap
of the playtest. Sadly, due to a technical glitch, Becca and I didn’t actually
get to play. It was the world premiere, though, so it’s understandable that
they’re working out the kinks.
